00:19The follow-on concept.
00:21The follow-on in cricket is tactic allowing team with significant lead to force their
00:25opponents to bat again immediately after first innings, aiming to secure a quicker
00:31result.
00:34Conditions for enforcing follow-on.
00:36To enforce a follow-on, the leading team must hold a minimum lead.

00:52India, struggling after top order collapse, needs at least 20, three runs to avoid follow-on.
00:58Rain interruptions have provided some relief, allowing India to build partnerships on day
01:03four.

01:39Benefits and risks of follow-on.
01:41While enforcing a follow-on increases chance of a result by pressuring opponents, it also
01:46risks bowler fatigue, losing valuable time, especially in rain-affected matches.
